[HTC Pico (Explorer)] FuMMoD:
Ok so this ROM i'm using now switched from an all HOLO White theme to now Holo blue. What exactly would i have to take from the previous holo white rom to flash over to the new rom so I can have everything white again? I made a flashable zip with system/priv-app/systemui and the framworkres.apk. I keep flashing it over but it doesn't change the holo blue theme. Any suggestions? I switched the apks that were in the blue holo flashable to the ones from the white theme rom and nothing. Was i supposed to sign the zip or anything? I'm using the sample zip from here and i did not extract the files. I just added the files to the archive directly using winrar.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
After flashing it go to fix permissions in the recovery.. and then restart and try..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] FuMMoD:
Just tried that and nothing. This blows my mind because that's the only two files that are in the actual zip file to flash the holo blue accents. All I did was take out the exact same files from the Holo white rom and replace the holo blue ones with those. Looks like I'll have to dig deeper through something else cause the flashable zip is working. Thanks for the help

Well, downloaded going to try for camera and music replacement in my phone.

For build.prop

There is something wrong with my build.prop file. I think I renamed it wrong. Now my phone won't boot. But I have a backup of my build.prop when my phone was working. What I have to do to create a flashable zip for replacing my corrupted build.prop with my backup-ed one?

I have just to paste my backup-ed one into /system folder and flash it?

Please tell me how to make a flashable zip to replace my build.prop, or if it isn't there to put backup-ed one into /system
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
download the sample.zip file from first page..

From the rom zip take out the meta-inf folder place in the sample zip file..

take out the backed up build.prop place it in system.. only in the system..

So it should contain meta-inf and system.. in system no other folder only build.prop file should be there..

Now place the zip in your card and flash
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] treydev:
Problem

It says " E:signature verification failed"

It seems that my zip needs Allview signature in it.... wich is stored in META-INF , right? (my phone is from Allview)

Please find out the signature from this folder (is a original Allview META-INF file) and make a zip file with that signature and put it as a replay. I will put my build.prop after.

I don't know how to find the signature, so please do this for me. Thanks!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
The best way is If you have flashed a custom rom..

Make a copy of the rom in other drive..

Now open the zip delete everything except meta-inf folder and system..

Go to system folder delete everything except the build.prop.. Now let the zip remain open.. Now drag and drop your backed up build.prop in the zip.. It will ask for replace.. Replace it.. Close the zip.. Place it in your card.. Go to recovery.. go to mounts and storage.. mount system then flash just after flash select fix permissions in reovery..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] treydev:
I can't

My phone doesn't support a custom rom. My only way is to make a zip with original Allview signature.

Please find it out from that META-INF folder.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
OK mate I have signed it. see if it works . fingers crossed... flash the zip.. after flashing.. In recovery select fix permissions..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Praetoriani:
I downloaded the sample.zip to create my own flashable ZIP-File.

When I flashed the ZIP-File with TWRP it said that the process was successfully.

But when I reboted my device I recognized that it didn't do what I wanted it to do.

I tried to flash the original SecLauncher3.apk back to \system\app\.

But unfortunately it didn't replace the modified SecLauncher3.apk with the original.

Do I have to edit the updater-script as well? Do I have to delete the SecLauncher3.apk first?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] TANdev:
Doubt

Presuming i want to just flash an APK and do not want it go ahead and place itself in the /system folder, what do i do?

For example, if i want to flash Greenify as a non-/system app?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
As you don't want the app to be present in system then what's the need to flash.. Install the app manually..

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] TANdev:
noname

I agree, in fact that was what i ended up doing, but i had multiple APKs. The process involves multiple taps-"Next...Next...Next...Install" and a long wait. The process with a lot of APKs is rather painful so i was looking for an alternative since i'm all rooted and stuff. Is there an easier way to do it? ADB, maybe? I know none of that, though.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shubhojit89:
Adb will also install one app at a time.. If you want to install multiple apps then use titanium backup. In titanium backup there is a option 'batch actions" backup all your apps then in the same option there is restore tab restore all your apps with just one tap.. Simple..

via Apache Helicopter
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] TANdev:

Yeah, well... my phone went into bootloops so i had to flash another ROM. The last backup was a while back and had previous version of the APKs so i downloaded the newest versions and was wondering if i could simplify the process in any way. Thank, anyways!

how to set up Updater-script for flashing buildprop?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
For flashing build.prop, I use this: [ZIP] Dynamic automated build.prop editing

You could look at it's updater script...

Even so, how to do it, is simple.

Mount /system partition

extract build.prop from zip to /system/build.prop

chmod build.prop to 644 (0644 in case of some recoveries)

umount /system

reboot

Here's something that'd help you with the commands: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187804

Just in case, heres' an untested updater-script:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
package_extract_file("build.prop", "/system/build.prop");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/build.prop");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");

zip file:

------------build.prop

------------meta-inf folder

----------------com

-------------------googlle

----------------------you get the flow

Note: typed in two minutes, it might not work, so, don't bash me :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kaiserlourdes:

I need your help, please!

***my english is too basic, sorry for mistakes***

I have a general mobile e-tab4 tablet. I root it and erase system.prop (or something that ends with prop).

Now it does not open, freeze and waits on splash screen. I want to copy files from another working and rooted e-tab4. Now, I want to zip it and flash it to my frozen e-tab4 tablet.

SO I need your help here ---> 1-)Will any problem occure in this plan?

2-)How to flash it to frozen tablet?

3-) Or are there any ways to adding system.prop to my tablet without any flashing? How to use it as usb?

Thanks for your helps
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mikereidis:
I don't think you should mess with the ZIP creation techniques in this thread, since you're not even sure what your problem is. You should start a new thread somewhere else.

I think you mean the /system/build.prop file, but I'm just guessing a bit. If you deleted and don't have a backup, you'd have to get that file from an identical tablet, or from some compatible ROM or OEM software package.

But please start a new thread elsewhere, as this is off-topic for this thread.

Make folder called app. Put your system apps into that folder. Than just open the zip with Winrar/7zip and drag app folder into system folder

For other stuff take a look at hints in the #1 post.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jmsrajkumar:
The problem is that your system is currently in RO (Read-Only) mode.

Even if you are root, can't change the system files.

ES File Explorer works because it has an option to mount the system in RW (Read-write) mode.

On my ES File Explorer its like this:

Android menu button--->Tools---->Root Explorer--->Mount R/W.

Set: /system (or all of the options) to: RW----->OK.

Now, explore your files using the ES File Explorer interface on your phone and you should be able to erase every file and apk you want even if they are system files.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_lupus:
I need help with a few issues here before buying a tablet.

here are my issues with with the nexus 10

1.If i bought one now is it less likely to have really bad light bleed? extreme light bleed I know most tablets have some. Talking about like the yellow light bleed or the one all over the edges.

2.The charging if slow is fine but I watch alot of videos and play alot of games, is the pogo worth it? I've looked and can't find the answer to the question of "does the battery still drain while using the pogo while playing games or watching videos?"

3.Random reboots, dealt with it before but don't wanna drop 500 bucks and then after my return period be dealing with random reboots....any word from google or a fix here? Would using a custom rom help that?

4.Don't really have a store here that I can go to to play with it how is the upscaling on apps that dont have the app set up right? And do you think it will get better?

The other tablet that I'm looking at after discounting the TF700 cause the 1gb of ram bothers me for 500 dollars is the note 10.1

1.The resolution is a big factor seeing how my phone has a higher one then it and again 450 dollars? Kinda a buzz kill.

2.Stylus doesn't really matter I had a note 1 phone and never used it really.

3.I have a 16gb sd card as well so it would be 32gb vs 32gb.

4.The note is the closet thing to the nexus 10 without losing the extra ram (more future proofing then not) but if you know of others other than the TF700 that I might like let me know

In the end I would like to hear from some users on the nexus 10 issues mainly the charging and the light bleed. First tablet but long time flasher/custom rom user on android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sus4ntoh:
I decided to return my nexus 10 yesterday mainly due to random reboots and screen. I have never bought an electronic device that reboots so many times by itself on the first week. I have some light bleed but it is reasonable consider the size of the screen. What I have problem with is it started to have vertical streaks when I scroll up and down then disappear when I use it in portrait mode.

Now to be fair, please only take what I experienced with a grain of salt as you might have a better experience than me. I still think Nexus 10 is a great tablet and has potential but until Google figures out all these kinks, I won't drop $500 to become their QA person.

Hello everybody!

I need a ****ing help here now! I searched in XDA and i didn't found any solution (maybe for my despair), but, here i go:

I have a Galaxy X (Galaxy Nexus in Brazil), it's had the ROM (yakjuvs), but i "transformed" in Galaxy Nexus Takju for recive atualization of the Google. Now i have a problem with Usb conector port (in the phone). It doesn't connect in PC.

- What I need?

Back to stock rom (yakjuvs), unroot, back to stock recovery, re-lock bootloader (I think that's it.), for send my phone to warranty for repair.

- What's my difficulty?

I don't have access via ubs/pc.

There is any way to make this?

Hi, sorry for the total n00b first post. I've spent a long time searching but can't work out the answer to a simple question.

I am trying to flash back to total stock to return my Nexus 4 (msm_hsic_host wakelock KILLING the phone so taking a chance on a replacement handset). Using the Nexus 4 toolkit (V1.7.4) I have flashed to stock rom (4.2.2) and recovery mode. When rebooting into fastboot and going to recovery mode I get the 'red triangle' android. Is this what is supposed to happen? I can get to the 'secret' recovery menu fine but I don't know if this is what is supposed to happen?
